Getting out and about safely and steadily

If you’re starting to find moving around a bit difficult, or you’re living with a condition which makes mobility a challenge, don’t let it stop you from living your life.

Our experts have put together their top tips to consider to help you keep safe whilst getting out and about and maintaining your independence.

Before you go

Remember that keeping safe is the key to enjoying the freedom of the outdoors. Everyone is entitled to get out of the house , just let a friend or family member know where you’re heading and when you’re likely to head back.

If you have trouble with memory, or need to give someone that little extra reassurance that you’re okay, check out our new GPS tracker. This clever device uses a SIM card to help your loved one’s locate your exact location via Google maps, and you can alert them with a text message if you need their help.

Extra Stability

If you need help to steady your feet, we have a diverse range of innovative products such as scooters, tri-walkers and wheelchairs to keep you moving.

Our Shop ‘n’ Sit is a unique shopping trolley and seat in one, so you can wheel it around the shops and easily folds down to convert into a convenient seat if you need it. .

If it’s power that you’re looking for, the Envoy 8+scooter could help give you the boost that you’ve been looking for. With its 500W motor, LED light and fully functioning indicators, you can really feel the wind in your hair.

Or, if you’re a beginner and you haven’t had a scooter before, the easy-to-use and comfortable Style Pluscould be the one for you.

Public Places

­Meeting up with friends at the local shops or for a coffee and some cake is a great way to socialise and really motivate you to get out and about. It can also be just as fun to spend time alone but we suggest you visit public places to ensure that you’re in safe hands if you require a little help.
